This is the time of year when a sense of renewal takes aim at our hearts and lives. The key to this sense of renewal is the gift of shedding…old ideas, old thoughts that bind us, old reservations, and the symbolic casting off of dead skin.
“…for human beings, dead skin takes many forms, the most significant of which remain intangible but suffocating, such as a dead way of thinking, a dead way of seeing, a dead way of relating, a dead way of believing, or a dead way of experiencing.” ~Mark Nepo
What I ultimately wish for myself, and for all those who read this, is an openness to self-transformation, a renewal of will, a greater sense of seeing the world not as a broken or torn place, but a most exquisite world that is ever fresh and open and full of beauty, freedom and enlightenment.
